Principal's Perspective

By Carole C. Goodman

October 2008

The PSAT is given in all MCPS schools on Wednesday, October 15, 2008. Through a partnership with MCPS and the College Board all 10th and 11th grade students take the PSAT at no cost to give students test-taking experience and provide schools with baseline data for the SAT as well as information for placement into honors and AP classes.  All 10th and 11th grade students are expected to take the test on October 15 The test really “counts” for the 11th grade but there is a common misunderstanding that the PSAT is only for practice. For 11th grade students, the PSAT is the test that determines who is a merit scholar, commended scholar or achieves honorable mention in the National Merit Scholar program as well as the National Achievement and National Hispanic Scholar programs. These programs open doors for significant scholarship opportunities for our most able students and the test is only given once a year.
